We're delighted to be hosting @richferro.com's NFL Playoffs custom feed in collaboration with @bsky.app today! This is a shining example of something only the open social web can do, and why open social will win 🧵

A few months ago @devingaffney.com and I launched @atprotofans.com, an experiment that shows how ATProtocol can support proof-of-payment records using the attestation spec that I've been working on for a while. Today I launched download.ngerakines.me, a digital content catalog using it. #ATProtocol

i'm prototyping some small widgets for @atprotofans.com creators, this one is the Supporter Stack! add your face to the list: atprotofans.com/u/zeu.dev

setup my @atprotofans.com account. more because I can than because I should but even in the technical preview already works pretty smoothly! atprotofans.com/u/did:plc:aq...

Private data is needed for some of these things (including the role FB marketplace / Buy Nothing Groups play in communities) @atprotofans.com and other work by @ngerakines.me points towards some public payments flows. But really? Needs someone with a plan to build & grow their product vision.

Thanks everyone for joining our first community call!

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/atprotofans.com Community Call

Part four of our "Building Recurring Payments in Public" series where close out to talk about brokers and their role in this model. We want to "lock open" and set the example for other services that want to operate this way.

Part three of our "Building Recurring Payments in Public" series where we look at real examples to show how our behaviors, constraints, and definitions come together to form the user experience.

enjoying this series! thoughtful WIP design for recurring payments, cool to see :)

Our first community call is tomorrow. Join for conversation and reflection on our launch, the feedback we've gotten, and what's in store.

Part two of our "Building In Public" series on the design of the recurring payments feature is out. With it, we exploring some of the user stories that shape this set of features and explain the thinking behind them. #BuildingInPublic #ATProtocol

Recurring payments is a complex set of features with development and user experience questions mingled together. This is something that I have a lot of experience with, so I've written a small series to go along with the engineering plan.

We're kicking off a "Building In Public" series on the design of the recurring payments feature. The first of this four part series gives some context about what we're trying to do and why it matters. #BuildingInPublic #ATProtocol

📣 We're hosting our first community call! Thursday, Dec 18th at 4pm EST - one hour to talk about ATProtoFans, proof records, and what comes next moderated by @ngerakines.me. Whether you're a creator, supporter, or just curious, you're invited.

Attestations (proof records) are a core component of supporter records. This morning we GA'd high-five.atprotofans.com and opened the code to show what building your own brokers looks like. Hop on and give someone a high-five to see it in action.

It seems like something that's really cool for creators on Blue Sky.

ferb i know what we’re doing today! stream soon 💛

omg it doesn’t request full read and write access to all of my PDS it’s a miracle

I wonder if this might be interesting for me. I know I'm small and only do weekly posts, but I do have a few people that have supported me directly before, which is great for motivation. Currently using Buy Me a Coffee. Will look at this too.

Let's get creators paid 💯 Shoutout to the @graze.social team and @ngerakines.me for doing incredible work, as per always!

you can now link your @atprotofans.com creator page from your artist detail page on plyr.fm! visit plyr.fm/portal to configure!

Joining @anisota.net as a paid member or subscribing to my patreon are still the best ways to support me, but I also made a profile on this experimental platform from @graze.social that enables atproto-enhanced one-off payments — try it out by buying me a coffee! atprotofans.com/u/did:plc:gq...

The internet runs on creators, and creators depend on their fans. But that relationship has always been locked inside platforms who didn't build it and don't deserve to own it. We're taking the first step in changing that with a new experiment: ATProtoFans 🧵

Have we piqued your interest? We want to build things that are actually used and put together a no-dependencies ATProtocol OAuth application that verifies that someone is a supporter of yours. Read more about how it works on our blog: atprotofans.leaflet.pub/3m7nqj7j3jk22

👋 Hello, Bluesky! We're ATProtoFans, a new way to support creators you love. How it works: you make a one-time payment, and both you and the creator get a permanent, verifiable record stored in your ATProtocol accounts. atprotofans.com
